In the 25-lap DCRP vs. URSS Sprint Car feature, Quinter’s Blurton gunned into the lead from the pole position at the outset and led all the way, slicing through heavy traffic over the final half of the race for his lone DCRP win of the year and third URSS Victory.

“The car was perfect, I could put it anywhere and it would work,” Blurton said of the No. 2J entry.

“This one is special, it means a lot to me,” Blurton said after adding the Soderberg Memorial victory to the inaugural triumph in 2013. “I’m family with the Soderberg now and I wasn’t the first time.”

Following the race’s only caution after four laps, Blurton opened up a half-straightaway advantage in short order over Luke Cranston and Jake Martens with the latter working his way into second by the seventh round.

After Arvada Colorado’s Jake Bubak came off the biggest win in his career two weeks earlier at the URSS Belleville 305 Nationals, he continued his domination by winning the 25 lap feature in night one of the Bob Salem Memorial at Oberlin Speedway in Oberlin, KS.

Colorado Veteran Mark Walinder led the field to the green with Bubak starting on the outside front row. Walinder would take the lead going into turn one but Bubak powered around him exiting turn two to lead lap one with Walinder in second and Oklahoma’s Jake Martens third, Jeremy Huish fourth and Zach Blurton rounding out the top five.

As Bubak began stretching his lead, Martens wrestled second from Walinder on lap four and began the chase to catch a flying Bubak. As the leader encountered lap traffic on the fifth lap, Martens began to close the gap between him and the leader.

Bubak proved he was the master through lap traffic in the 25 lap caution free event as he would capture his third feature of the year with the URSS, as Martens settled for second. Third place went to a rim riding J.D Johnson as he passed both Jeremy Huish and Zach Blurton coming out of turn four to the checkers with Blurton also beating Huish to line as he was caught behind a lapped car relegating him from third to fifth at the line. Johnson’s bold move earned him the Keizer Wheels hard charger award as he had started thirteenth.

In victory lane after receiving his winning custom plaque, Bubak signed the plaque and gave it to URSS and the Memorial race promoter Rick Salem in honor of Rick’s dad, Bob Salem. Then shortly after the checkers waved the rain started and didn’t stop until around 9am the following morning, forcing officials to cancel night two of the Memorial Race.

Next on the schedule for the Rebels will be the Jerry Soderburg Memorial at Dodge City Raceway Park in Dodge City, KS on Sept 15th

Fairview Oklahoma’s Jake Martens put in a stellar performance as he won his third URSS feature this year as he dominated the 20 lap feature in Stockton, KS.

Bubak jumped into the lead and led the first two laps until a caution flew for Darren Berry spinning down the backstretch. On the restart Martens slid Bubak in turn one taking the lead and never looked back the entire time as he stretched his lead each lap to win by 10 car lengths over Bubak. Current points leader Zach Blurton came across the finish line third, followed by Dodge City’s Jordan Knight with Colorado’s Scott Cochran, making his first appearance of the year, completing the top 5.

After winning his heat race from the fifth starting position and then rallying from sixth to win his qualifier, Bubak jumped out to the lead at the drop of the green flag in the 30-lap championship feature and led all the way as he lapped two-thirds of the feature field in the process as he ripped the cushion of the legendary oval.

Bubak added the $7,000 payday to the $2,500 that he collected by winning Friday’s preliminary feature aboard the Coyote Candle Company No. 74b entry.

“You just have to get up top and get after it,” Bubak said of his mastery of the ½-mile Belleville High Banks clay oval.

After earning the pole position for the main event, Bubak led the way to the green flag with Oklahoma City’s Andy Shouse alongside.

in lap money along with the posted
$3,000 winner’s share.

outset and paced the early rounds
ahead of Walters and Martens, with
Martens making his way into second
soon after the first of just two
cautions flew after nine laps for
Lonnie Cox in turn two with the
final caution flying four laps
later.

With Martens pressuring Herbert for
the point, Chad Koch and Zach

just behind them. Martens finally

lap with a surging Luke Cranston
taking over third from his 15th
starting position on the 20th round.

It wasn’t
without a threat for the point
though, as Luke Cranston closed in
past the halfway point and was
challenging before getting into the
turn two wall. Richardson led the
rest of the way to best the 36-car
field that will vie for a $3,000
winner’s share on Saturday night.

“We’ve been
running here a few years now, it
feels great to finally get the dub,”
Richardson said in victory lane. “I
can’t wait for tomorrow night.”

Fairview,

Precise Racing Products DCRP Sprint
Cars vs. United Rebel Sprint Series
(URSS) feature field to the green
flag from the pole position but it
was outside starter Richardson
gunning into the lead at the
outset. Richardson slipped away
early on, leaving Martens and Ray
Seemann to dice for second until
Cranston battled past for second on
the seventh round.

With Richardson
reaching the tail of the field at
the midway point, Cranston began to
close the gap. By the 12th round,
Cranston was pressuring the leader
and looked to the outside of turns
one and two on the 14th lap only to
jump Richardson’s right rear tire
and get into the wall. The incident
brought Cranston’s night to an early
end.

resumed, Richardson was able to
distance himself from the field
aboard the Myers-powered Poor Boy

J&J as Martens and Seemann traded
sliders for second, ultimately
taking the checkered flag
comfortably ahead of the pack dicing

Martin Holds
Off Late Day Challenge for URSS
Victory at 81 Speedway

Park City,
Kansas – May 27, 2018 - Jason Martin
took the lead in the early stages
and then held off a late-race
challenge by Michael Day to claim
the United Rebel Sprint Series
twenty-five-lap feature finale
during their portion of 81
Speedway’s “Sprint Car Maynia II” in
Park City, Kansas on Sunday night.

Ty Williams and
Steven Richardson started on the
front row of the twenty-one-car
feature and entering turn one on the
opening lap, Williams and
third-starting Brian Herbert got
together causing both to spin. This
sent both drivers to the tail of the
field on the complete restart which
saw J.D. Johnson and Richardson now
pacing the field.

On the restart
it was Richardson taking the quick
lead while “Texas” Colby Estes,
Taylor Velasquez and Day were the
top five after the first lap was
complete. Estes got a run up top
coming out of turn two on lap three
to take the lead from Richardson
while Day made a strong move down
low entering turns three and four to
take the lead coming down the front
stretch one lap later.

Tenth starting
Jason Martin worked the top in turns
one and two and the bottom in turns
three and four to move up through
the field and entering turn three on
lap seven, got past both Estes and
leader, Day, to take the lead in
turns three and four.

Martins first
encounter with slower cars began on
lap eleven while holding on to his
half stretch lead at the races
midway point. With drivers utilizing
the top and bottom of the
three-eighths mile oval, passing was
intense throughout the event.

Velasquez put
the Bearcat Oil Services/Fronk Oil
Co. No. 21x out front at the outset
from the pole position and
capitalized on a lap 20 caution that
negated a Jake Martens pass for the
lead to secure the win.

Given a
reprieve, Velasquez burst out to a
lead of several car-lengths as the
race restarted, but Martens closed
back in and tried to slip under in
the final pair of corners only to
fall two car-lengths short at the
stripe.

“This week has
been blood, sweat and tears,” the
Turpin, OK, racer explained. “I
wasn’t really sure how I’d feel
tonight. Getting through the heat
race was the most important part of
the night, after that I got a lot
more comfortable in the car.”

Gunning into
the lead at the drop of the green
flag, Velasquez gradually slipped
away from opening night winner Brian
Herbert and Martens in the early
going. Martens made his way past
Herbert for second on the 15th round
and erased Velasquez’ advantage in
short order then raced into the lead
on the low side only to have the
race’s only caution appear to put
Velasquez back out front.

Velasquez took
full advantage by going on to become
the third different winner in as
many rounds of DCRP Sprint Car
competition in what was also the
season opening event for the United
Rebel Sprint Series.
